Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is squarely focused on what matters to Canadians: creating jobs and economic growth and securing Canada's long-term prosperity.
By implementing Canada's economic action plan, Canada has experienced one of the best economic performances among G7 countries, both during the global recession and throughout its recovery. Unfortunately, while we are focused on jobs and economic growth, the socialist NDP is focused on imposing a $20-billion job-killing carbon tax on Canadian families, which would raise the price of gas, food, electricity and everything else. Such a tax would ruin our economy.
The NDP's $20 billion job-killing carbon tax would be devastating for the Canadian economy. That is why our Conservative government will continue to fight the socialist NDP's reckless economic experiments and remain focused on creating jobs and economic growth.
